South Surrey Home Targeted Again: What’s Behind the Second Shooting?

A South Surrey home was struck by gunfire for the second time in days. Police link it to ongoing extortion threats shaking the Lower Mainland.

Second Shooting Stuns Quiet South Surrey Neighborhood

Residents in South Surrey are reeling after a second round of gunfire hit the same home within just four days. The house, located in the 17000-block of 32 Avenue, was fired upon around 7:35 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12, according to the Surrey Police Service (SPS). Thankfully, no one was injured.

“This is the second time this address has been targeted, and the incident is extortion-related,” confirmed Sgt. Tige Pollock, SPS media relations officer. The SPS General Investigation Unit has taken over, working to trace the shooters and uncover any links to other similar attacks.

A Growing Pattern of Extortion-Linked Violence

The same property was struck earlier on Saturday morning, marking a disturbing escalation in Surrey’s ongoing extortion crisis. Over the past few weeks, multiple shootings have rattled the region from homes in Panorama to local businesses in South Surrey and Newton.

Just last month, White Rock Gymnastics and two Ustaad G76 restaurant locations were also hit by gunfire. Police believe several of these shootings are tied to a coordinated extortion network targeting South Asian business owners.

Political Leaders Demand Action

Frustration is mounting among local leaders. Brent Chapman, Conservative MLA for Surrey South, voiced outrage on social media, writing, “Repeated shootings at the same Surrey home are unacceptable. How much longer will the government wait? Our community deserves safety now.”

Harman Bhangu, MLA for Langley-Abbotsford, echoed those concerns, slamming the NDP government: “These thugs act like no one can stop them! The NDP talks while criminals run the streets. This must end.”

Authorities Crack Down on Extortion Network

In response, the B.C. Extortion Task Force, launched in September, has ramped up its efforts. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) recently announced that it has deported three individuals and launched investigations into 78 more foreign nationals linked to the crisis.

The task force composed of 40 officers from agencies like the RCMP, SPS, CBSA, and Transit Police is collaborating with the federal RCMP National Co-ordination and Support Team to share intelligence across B.C., Alberta, and Ontario.

Their mission? To dismantle the criminal networks behind these extortion threats and restore peace to communities living in fear.

Call for Public Assistance

Investigators are urging anyone with CCTV footage or dashcam videos from the area to contact the SPS non-emergency line (604-599-0502) and reference file number 25-62774 (SU).

As police piece together the evidence, residents are hoping this second attack marks the beginning of the end for the wave of extortion-related violence shaking Surrey.
